Thimbles' Fanfic Flashfic Week 10
Prompt: "When I saw you I fell in love and you smiled because you knew."
I stand before a sea of eager eyes that watch the second hand as it makes its final pass. The rustling of a thousand sheets of paper, at the striking of the hour, is replaced with the calm hum of nervous silence.
White dust spins and dances through the sunlight as I brush away words belonging to those who linger in another time but gift us with worlds we can fall into with the turn of a page.
A breeze stirs the fresh green leaves outside and finds its way through the open window, ruffling the dark curls around my shoulders. I turn my face to the summer-heated glass and close my eyes in contentment.
The sound of wood clattering against tile ricochets into the stillness as a pencil rolls across the floor. I bend down to collect and return it to its owner.
Fingers brush and eyes linger—a private moment in a crowded space.
The sensation of your gaze never dulls, and only heightens, when your lips curl into a smile.
You understand the blush of my cheeks and the wonder in my eyes more than the love story you're meant to be describing.
